my parents wont let me stay out late, and its summer!?

theres a party tomorrow night at my friends house to celebrate the end of school. I worked really hard this school year and even took on 3 grade 11 courses (even though i was in grade 10) and still finished on time. i mentioned it to my dad and all he said was that one party didnt matter and my future and school are more important, but its summer. I never went out all school year and i was constantly doing homework and staying it.

it starts at 7:30PM and ends at 5AM, but most people leave around 1. my dad said he will pick me up at 9PM at the latest. at first he said 8:30, i had to plead for 9

there is going to be a parent there and its all close friends, but my dad still wont let me stay. im 15 years old, turning 16 in a few months, and im pretty mature for my age

i want to go so bad, what can i do to make him let me stay longer?

please help me!

    You may well be right - But I would strongly advise that you stick to what your father says - I used to think the same way when I was 15/16, but believe you me, whenever I remember the times my father wouldn't let me go somewhere or stay late at places, I know that he was right. Sometimes you just cannot understand why he's right - and this is completely natural.

    The last thing you're father would want to do is to deprive you from having fun, so maybe ask him about the reason. But again, do what says.

    You know what, I'm now in my 20s and got a university degree and a decent job, but I still ask my father for advice, and more often than not, his decisions seem strange at first, but then turn-out right.

    You'll have as many parties as you want when become a bit older -

    Good luck, and congrats on your grades!

    PS: I'm going to celebrate on your behalf by having a Kit-Kat

    you haven't any longer something to do? visit mattress whilst they say, and arise early, and notice approximately doing jobs for persons to make money. With all the criminals obtainable on the laptop, i think of all teenagers could desire to be supervised whilst on line. So your mothers and dads are desirable in making you get off at 10. you do no longer understand all the disadvantages there are. They do.

    ASK HIM FOR ALL THE REASONS YOU CANT GO AND STAY TILL 1230-1? AND THROW IN HIS FACE HOW HARD YOU WORK AND YOUR GRADES AND HOW MATURE YOU ARE. AND ASK HIM IF HE TRUSTS YOU ENOUGH TO ALLOW YOU TO GO. JUSRT COMPROMISE WITH HIM DONT MAKE A PROBLEM JUST TALK TO HIM CALMLY AND GET ON HIS LEVEL AS AN ADULT. AND EVEN IF HE SAYS NO WITH THE TIME THEN IDK I GUESS IT WAS WORTH A SHOT

    just tell him the first paragraph that you just wrote, and you should promise him that you will not do drugs or alchohal. explain to him how hard you worked and tell him that you wont do anything bad, also tell him 1 oclock is when every one is leaving

    say to your parents: "mom...dad....theres something you need to know...i have a child...this girl at my school..."

    it works 99% of the time

    the next day they'll kick you out of the house and you have freedom :D
